It really is too early to start making anthologies for the young career of the increasingly impressive Ayesha Takia.
She's had barely 16 releases, and unfortunately, a lot of the movies have been bad, even though the statuesque beauty's earned herself a reputation as a very credible actress indeed.
With her Sunday coming up this Friday (ha!), Here's a look at her most impressive roles:
No Smoking
Anurag Kashyap's experimental movie was essentially a showcase for leading man John Abraham, who played K. Takia, however, had a fascinating faux double-role as K's disillusioned wife Annie and his sexy secretary Anjali -- or was if the other way around? If you see the film, you'll realise it doesn't quite matter. What does, however, is how well Takia's juggled both personas, blowing hot one second and bored the next. It's a fun, tough role.
